A survey was conducted on a sample of 500 cinema artists with reference to their proficiency in the skill of acting, singing and dancing. The results of the survey are depicted in the given Venn diagram.
What is the ratio of the number of cinema artists who are not proficient in any of these three skills (X0) to those who are proficient in all three (X3) ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The ratio X0 : X3 is 3 : 5.
Add every region of the Venn diagram to find how many artists have at least one skill:
\[ \begin{aligned} 70 + 80 + 125 &= 275 \\ 25 + 35 + 45 &= 105 \\ 275 + 105 + 75 &= 455 \end{aligned} \]
So X0 = 500 - 455 = 45 artists have none of the skills, and X3, the centre region, is 75.
\[ 45 : 75 = 3 : 5 \]
The other ratios come from misreading a region: 1 : 9, 5 : 7 and 6 : 7 cannot be formed from 45 and 75.
A man rows 27 km with the stream and 15 km against the stream taking 4 hours each time. Find the rate at which the stream flows?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The stream flows at 1.5 kmph.
Downstream speed is 27/4 = 6.75 km/h and upstream speed is 15/4 = 3.75 km/h. The stream's speed is half their difference:
\[ \frac{6.75 - 3.75}{2} = 1.5\ \text{km/h} \]
The rowing speed in still water is half the sum, 5.25 km/h. Taking the full difference (3 km/h) is the usual error; 1.8, 2.2 and 2.5 do not follow.
In \(\triangle ABC\), the side BC is extended to D. If \(\angle ACD = 120°\) and \(\angle ABC = 45°\), find \(\angle BAC\).
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
Here, \(\angle ACD\) is the exterior angle, and \(\angle ABC\) and \(\angle BAC\) are the interior opposite angles.
\(\angle ACD = \angle ABC + \angle BAC\)
120° = 45° + \(\angle BAC\)
\(\angle BAC = 120° - 45° = 75°\).
Napier's logarithm is also called
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Napier's logarithms are the natural logarithms, taken to base \( e \) and written \( \ln x \).
Common logarithms, to base 10, came slightly later and are named after Briggs. The mantissa is only the fractional part of a logarithm, and the antilogarithm is the inverse operation, so neither names a system of logarithms at all.

Direction for [ Question No: 5 To 5 ] :
In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
Statement: Ten candidates, who were on the waiting list, could finally be admitted to the course.
Assumptions:
1. Wait-listed candidates do not ordinarily get admission.
2. A large number of candidates were on the waiting list.
3. The number of candidates to be admitted is small
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Since the wait-listed candidates have been admitted, so I is not implicit. Also, nothing about the number of candidates on the waiting list or the number to be admitted can be deduced from the statement. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
Direction for [ Question No: 6 To 6 ] :
In each of the following questions, a number series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative that will continue the same pattern.
28, 33, 31, 36, ?, 39
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 34
The series alternately adds 5 and subtracts 2: \( 28 + 5 = 33 \), \( 33 - 2 = 31 \), \( 31 + 5 = 36 \), so the next step subtracts 2: \[ 36 - 2 = \mathbf{34} \] and 34 + 5 = 39, as the series shows.

In each of the following questions, there is a certain relationship between two given words on one side of : : and one word is given on another side of : : while another word is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relation with this word as the words of the given pair bear.Choose the correct alternatives.
Wax:Wane::Zenith:?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Nadir
The relation is word : its opposite. To wax is the opposite of to wane; the zenith - the point directly overhead - is the opposite of the nadir, the point directly beneath. Bottom and depth are ordinary words, not the astronomical counterpart.
Shoe always has _____________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Soles
The question asks what a shoe must have by definition rather than what it commonly has. Laces, leather and straps all appear on some shoes and not others - a slip-on has no laces, a canvas shoe no leather. A sole is what makes the object a shoe at all, so it is the only universal.
Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a circle facing the centre. B is sitting between G and D. H is third to the left of B and second to the right of A. C is sitting between A and G and B and E are not sitting opposite to each other. Who is third to the left of D ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
B is between G and D i.e. the order is G B D. H is third to the left of B and second to the right of A.
So, forming a circle we have :
C is between A and G. But E is not opposite B.
So, Cis between A and H.
Thus, the final arrangement becomes :
F is third to the left of D.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 10 To 20 ] :
In which civilization, were houses made of sunbaked brick and stone ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The civilization is Ahar.
Ahar, on the outskirts of Udaipur, is the type site of the Ahar-Banas culture of the third and second millennia BCE. Its people built houses with foundations of stone and walls of sun-baked brick and mud, and smelted copper from local ores.
Kalibangan, in Hanumangarh, is a Harappan site known for its ploughed field and fire altars. Ganeshwar in Sikar is known for its copper objects. Gilund, in Rajsamand district, is another settlement of the same Ahar-Banas culture; the paper's key gives the description to Ahar itself.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The unit of solid angle is the steradian.
One steradian subtends an area \(r^2\) on a sphere of radius \(r\), so a whole sphere is \(4\pi\) steradians. The radian is the corresponding unit for plane angle.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Pressure is not a form of energy.
It is force per unit area, with dimensions \(\mathrm{ML^{-1}T^{-2}}\), while energy is \(\mathrm{ML^2T^{-2}}\). Heat, sound and motion are all energy in different forms; pressure times volume, however, does give energy.

The Gol Gumbaz is at Bijapur.
The tomb of Muhammad Adil Shah, completed in 1656 in Karnataka, has a dome 44 m across, the second largest in the world unsupported by pillars. Its whispering gallery carries a whisper round the circumference and echoes a clap several times over.
The line of latitude at 0° is called the
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Equator
The equator is the line of latitude at 0°, drawn midway between the poles, and it divides the globe into the northern and southern hemispheres. It is the longest line of latitude, about 40,075 km around; the parallels grow shorter towards the poles until they shrink to a point. It is also the only line of latitude that is a great circle - a plane through it passes through the centre of the Earth. At the equator day and night are close to twelve hours each all year round, because the Sun’s path is always near vertical there and the tilt of the axis has least effect. The Prime Meridian is the corresponding 0° line of longitude, running through Greenwich - and unlike the equator its position is a convention rather than a fact of geometry, agreed at an international conference in 1884.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Latitude is the primary control on climate, because it fixes the angle at which the Sun's rays strike and the length of the day, and so determines how much solar energy a place receives through the year.
Temperature is a result of that, not a cause; longitude affects local time rather than climate.
By which Amendment Act of the Constitution of India were the Directive Principles of State Policy given precedence over the Fundamental Rights wherever they come into conflict?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The 42nd Amendment of 1976 gave the directive principles precedence over the fundamental rights where they conflict.
It provided that no law giving effect to a directive principle could be struck down for violating Articles 14, 19 or 31. The Supreme Court struck that provision down in Minerva Mills in 1980, holding the balance between the two to be part of the basic structure.
Who was the only Lok Sabha Speaker to have become the President of India
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Neelam Sanjiva Reddy is the only Speaker of the Lok Sabha to have become president of India.
He was Speaker from 1967 to 1969 and again briefly in 1977, and president from 1977 to 1982. He was also the only president elected unopposed.
The office of the prime minister of India
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The office of the prime minister has a constitutional basis. Article 75 provides that the prime minister shall be appointed by the president and the other ministers appointed on the prime minister's advice.
In Britain, by contrast, the office rests on convention alone and is mentioned in no statute.
